Dear cofocalists,
I am looking for a digital camera which can be used to take pictures of
stained brain tissue sections under the microscope. Recently someone
from this list recommended the Nikon Coolpix 950, but it is not yet
available for demos here in Germany so I cannot yet test it. One problem
which I encountered when testing the previous 800 model was that it was
not possible to get the microscopic images in focus, which was mainly
due to the camera´s small monitor, which is not large enough to focus on
microscopic specimens. Also the autofocus did not give real good quality
images. So the question is, is it the same problem with the 950 model
and if yes, how can I solve this. Or is there another, not too expensive
camera which is better equipped for our purposes?
Thanks for your advice,
Katharina Braun
